Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills

Have you ever checked SCBA tanks? SCBA tank is lighter, higher pressure thank SCUBA tanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypyq-1MaSlc I have been using SCBA tank made of CarbonFiber-Reinforced Plastic 300bar tanks for either of my 300bar and 200bar pistols. It does not equipped with regulator, but ...

Looking to the manual it says: "correction to the left, turn the screw to counterclockwise"
Is this my option ...
Yes, that is your option

Re: Got my Walther LP500 - but there's a catch

I would suggest you to measure the weight of the Aluminum cylinder. If it is heavier than 160 grams, which is the carbon cylinder's nominal weight, and you prefer lighter gun, you may have to remove the barrel shroud to achieve the original EXPERT's total gun weight, which is 920-930(with a 10-gram ...

Chris, I thought you are an old hand at action shooting and a beginner in 10m AP. But, I realized after reading your second post that you had spent some time finding your best piece and posture.

Re: Pistol Hold and Grip Fitting

A primary option is to try and get use to holding the pistol with the barrel, hand, forearm, upper arm and the eye lined straight. But, it requires you a hard physical effort. Have you ever seen Korostylov, UKR. e.g., in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwrh8TigM3A time=26:10 ? You will realize that ...

Re: Air pistols used at the Olympics?

Looking at footage of the 10m AP finals, individual and mixed, it seems that the most popular air pistol by far is the e-trigger Steyr EVO10. Used by about 95% of the competitors, I think. I do not think so but looks to me like; gold: Foroughi(IRI) Styer silver: Mikec(SBR) Walther bronze: Wei(CHN) ...

Re: Gaps between 1 & 2 - Manu's Morini circuit malfunction

so it is because of humidity? what should have they done to avoid this? I do not have enough info at this moment. I cannot say that the humidity is the cause of the problem. Morini's circuit board is completely enclosed by the grip. This environment for the circuit board is quite brutal in high-hum...

Also, I guess it's a good idea to spray the circuit board with some conformal coating. The circuit board in a CM162EI I used to have twenty years ago for four years had been conformal-coated except for the power switch, connectors, an electrolytic capacitor and contacts for batteries. It is obvious...

Re: Gaps between 1 & 2 - Manu's Morini circuit malfunction

For men, the gap between 1 & 2 is so large that a jet plane can go through it. 6.9 points. I do not think this sort of "gap" happened in earlier Olympic[s]. That is owing to people shooting 8s, and high 8s. And that probably thanks to Covid. Now what is worse is this: https://sports.n...
